A Day In The Life Of An Average College Student
The Clever

After spending some time in the library procrastinating everything on my to-do list, my friend and I found ourselves reminiscing on an average day in the life of a college student. We decided that it would be "super funny" to document what it's actually like to be a student at a large university. Sometimes college life isn't as glamorous as it seems.


9:00 a.m.

First alarm. No.

9:27 a.m.

Coincidentally waking up three minutes before my second alarm is supposed to go off. Still no.

9:30 a.m.

I can sleep for ten more minutes if I just don't bathe for the third day in a row. *Snooze*

9:40 a.m.

I actually wake up, but spend too much time scrolling through any and all social media platforms to avoid leaving the comfort of my bed.

9:50 a.m.

Stepping out of bed.

9:51 a.m.

Making my way to the car and leaving for class.

9:59 a.m.

Fighting for a parking spot as if I was in the Hunger Games.

10:07 a.m.

Finally made it to class (only seven minutes late) and find the furthest possible seat from the professor that made eye contact with me when I came in late with Starbucks.

10:13 a.m.

Scrolling through Facebook and paying absolutely no attention to anything going on in class.

10:17 a.m.

Debating leaving class early because I want to make it to Chick-Fil-A breakfast.

10:29 a.m.

Ended up leaving class early. Just made it to Chick-Fil-A breakfast only to be told that they're out of chicken minis.

10:45 a.m.

Made it back home. Nap.

1:00 p.m.

Wake up for 1:30 class.

1:33 p.m.

Frantically speed-walking to class from (yet again) the worst possible parking spot. Almost got hit (yet again) by a freshman/athlete on a hoverboard.

1:38 p.m.

The professor didn't notice me come in late today because he was passing out the exam that I didn't know about.

2:15 p.m.

Handed in the exam that I didn't know about and hope for the best. Worst case scenario I'll just change my major for the fifth time (this semester).

2:30 p.m.

Made it home from class again. Nap, again.

6:00 p.m.

Good morning. I'm not sure where I am or how I got here but I feel well rested.

6:01 p.m.

Ramen, for the twelfth day in a row. I really need to go grocery shopping.

6:03 p.m.

Netflix.

8:30 p.m.

Get ready for pregame.

10:00 p.m.

Super late to pregame but at least I'm here. Shots.

2:30 a.m.

F***.

2:33 a.m.

Taco Bell.

3-something a.m.

Time for bed after another overwhelming day in college.

9:00 a.m.

First alarm. No.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichƩs, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And donā€™t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Donā€™t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and youā€™re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
